Our state-of-the-art facility gives us the ability to schedule more simultaneous classes (dance and music), so your family and friends may all participate in Momentum activities at the same time.
Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of jumping, which can put stress on bones and joints.
Most dance footwear does not provide any cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer.
MMDA helps prevent injuries by using a professional "sprung floor" which consists of 2 layers of plywood which rests on 2 inch sections of neoprene.
